Vartanyan has said multiple times he is only willing to sign long term with UFC. Same situation like with Albert Tumenov were he said that Bellator gave him two good offers but he turned them down since he is waiting for the UFCthat would be a good one. Still dont get why Vartanyan hasnt been picked up by one of the big 3.
I think a Tumenov, Raisov, Vartanyan, and Kerimov are all on the same boat. We, as fans, are missing out but it makes sense for them to stay put if they are getting well compensated in Russia. It hasnt worked out too well for Tumenov, though.Vartanyan has said multiple times he is only willing to sign long term with UFC.

By far. Most other promotions don't have people on set contracts, it's just one offs like Fight Nights, RCC, etc.Is ACA the best promotion in Russia?
Is ACA suing since Youtube took down their channel after they got sanctioned by the US government? They started a new channel but I guess they got someone outside off Russia to host it and just "pirate" their contentHopefully this doesn't take away from their potential lawsuit against Youtube and Google that is a lost cause.

Someone is running a ACA MMA youtube channel now tho. It appeared right after this happened and they upload all the old events and even the most recent events very soon after they happen. Either someone just took it upon themselves to do it and ACA doesn't care about copyright or ACA got around the sanctions.Basically cause Youtube pulled them... https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2022/1/...-youtube-channel-following-sanctions-mma-news

Big 3 -- UFC, Bellator and PFL? He doesn't have visa and UFC has enough Russians like this (probably the size of HW roster of PFL or ONE), PFL doesn't hold events in Russia. And he said that UFC is his dream, it was already mentioned.that would be a good one. Still dont get why Vartanyan hasnt been picked up by one of the big 3.
Well, now Tumenov says that he is ready to sign with Bellator but they are not interested.Vartanyan has said multiple times he is only willing to sign long term with UFC.

I think only Tumenov has visa. Kerimov said that Shelby/UFC was interested in him.I think a Tumenov, Raisov, Vartanyan, and Kerimov are all on the same boat.
